Bill > HRes69

This resolution celebrates Hindu Americans and their contributions to the United States while condemning Hinduphobia and anti-Hindu bigotry. The document highlights that Hinduism is one of the world's largest religions with over 1.2 billion adherents, and that the United States has welcomed more than 4 million Hindus since the 1900s. The resolution acknowledges Hindu Americans' significant contributions to the nation's economy, culture, and society, including their impacts in areas like philosophy, medicine, arts, and spiritual practices such as yoga. It also references how Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolent civil disobedience influenced Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement. The resolution recognizes that despite their positive contributions, Hindu Americans face ongoing challenges including stereotyping, bullying, discrimination, and increasing hate crimes, as documented by FBI statistics. Ultimately, the resolution aims to celebrate Hindu culture, declare the United States as a welcoming place for Hindu Americans, and explicitly condemn Hinduphobia, anti-Hindu bigotry, hate, and intolerance.
